Summary

Make your mark as a Communications & Engagement Manager in the PR & Communications sector, based in Edinburgh.

PR and communications teams are under more pressure than ever to prove their worth, not just with column inches but with measurable engagement, trust and reputation gains. This particular business is a fast-growing startup building its name in the PR & Communications space, and it needs someone who can shape how it talks to the world while it's still small enough to move fast. As Communications & Engagement Manager, you'd be joining at a point where your decisions actually stick.

Here's what you'll be doing:

Building and running communications campaigns that connect with target audiences across press, social and internal channels

Writing and editing press releases, briefing documents and thought leadership content that sound like a person wrote them

Managing relationships with journalists, media contacts and industry partners across the UK

Tracking engagement metrics and adjusting activity based on what the data actually shows

Coordinating internal communications so the whole company hears news at the same time, not in fragments

Supporting leadership with messaging for launches, funding announcements and other milestone moments

Here are the skills you'll need:

A few years' experience in PR, communications or a closely related field

Sharp writing skills. You should be able to switch tone between a press release and an internal Slack update without thinking twice

Confidence pitching to media and building relationships that last beyond one story

Comfort with ambiguity. Startups change direction, and this role needs someone who can adjust without losing momentum

Basic grasp of analytics tools to measure what's actually landing

The ability to work independently while still being a genuine team player in a flat structure

Key perks and benefits:

£39,500 to £50,000, depending on experience

Equity in the business, because your work should build something you actually own a piece of

Hybrid working from Edinburgh, with flexible hours built around output rather than clock-watching

A genuine learning and development budget you're encouraged to use

Remote-friendly culture for the days you're not in the office

Why pursue a career in PR & Communications?

PR & Communications has shifted from a support function to something businesses treat as core strategy, and skilled people are in short supply. Edinburgh has become a genuine hub for this kind of work, with a growing cluster of startups and agencies that need communicators who can think on their feet. Get good at this and the career paths open up quickly, from in-house leadership roles to consultancy work across sectors.
